Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The China Study offers conclusive evidence that a change of diet can dramatically reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The book is based on the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted, a 20-year joint project between Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. The study surveyed the eating habits of 6,500 adults from all over China and Taiwan and found a direct correlation between diet and disease. Author T. Colin Campbell, the study’s project director, provides an intelligent, well-documented analysis of the study’s results, an analysis that explodes the most common American dietary myths. In addressing the dietary sources of the most common diseases, including cancer, Campbell unleashes a no-holds-barred attack on the commercial interests that profit by selling the American public unhealthy food. He also shows how readers can use the study’s results to change their diets and improve their health.

THE CHINA STUDY is a powerful, compelling, controversial blockbuster which dispels many modern myths.
Drs. Campbell and Campbell expose the truth, gleaned from decades of research on nutrition and cancer. They draw heavily on results form the largest human study ever attempted; a group of 835,000 people living in various provinces in China. They de-mystify and expose the correlation between animal proteins and the incidence of cancer in humans.
It may come as a shock to learn that dairy products and meats of all kinds (including fish) can dramatically increase the likelihood of getting cancers and heart disease. The balanced diet from the "four food groups" proffered by the AMA may be a recipe for disaster. Consumption of all animal proteins can lead to a much greater likelihood of getting ill from cancer.
What then, plants? Perhaps. Proteins obtained from plants appear to be the answer and, in some cases, can actually reverse some of the ill effects of an animal-rich diet. Who knew the American breakfast of meat, eggs, milk, butter and other animal-based foods could be killing you?
I also recommend "Eat to Live" by Fuhrman who draws from the China Study in his eating handbook to live healthier and lose weight.

I must thank Amazon for their understanding and support. I made a mistake of ordering two Audio CD'S instead of a book.
Therefore, Amazon has agreed to refund me for the wrong purchase of the two Audio CD and now I am placing the order for the book.
Thank you for your support.

Author Colin Campbell concludes that the answer to cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, etc... is known and within our control.
I was well aware of how the formula industry is destructive to breastfeeding.
I am familiar with how pharmaceutical companies have their own interests in mind when it comes to research and your health isn't their priority.
I have noticed that in every chapter in my medical books suggests more fiber, less fats, more produce, etc... but without emphasis, just a "little" suggestion.
I've have noticed that nearly anything that comes labeled with Busch, Kraft, School Box Tops should not be eaten.
I was not aware of how powerful these food industries (and meat and dairy corporations) are over nutritional research. Meat and dairy industry are to good nutrition what the formula industry is to breastfeeding: undermining, financially self-motivated and selfish.
He grew up on a cattle farm certain that beef and dairy does a body good.
Systematically he describes his life on the farm and his strong beliefs about the "benefits of protein."
In his academic research he expected to find that meat and dairy protein would prevent cancer in Asian children. He found the exact opposite, "Animal proteins, all of them, are dangerous to our health: leads to heart disease and cancer." As he continued to do research, all his studies confirmed the nutritional benefits of plants and the hazards of animal protein. He describes how big corporations are covering up these facts in the name of profits. Research and spending continues on to find cures and supplements, however nothing replaces good nutrition.
He has been a vegan (no meat, no fish, no eggs, no cheese) for like 15 years after giving up all that fresh milk and beef from his own cattle. It makes me think about my nutrition and the impact on my long term health.
It makes sense to me that the antioxidants and enzymes in plants would suppress cancer growth, prevent arteriosclerosis (an inflammatory condition), improve sugar regulation, fat metabolism (cholesterol and obesity), improve blood pressure and much more. Fortunately, his research also shows how some of the damage can be reversed.
Before you drink that milk, I recommend this read.

The author gives compelling evidence on the correlation between nutrition and human illnesses. In addition, he understands that the scientific community in the western society doesn't embrace the idea of his study. Although, 40 years of his research is published with real data that one can decipher it's volatility.

The audio book is great, everyone needs to know about the truth. Our food and drug industry are keeping us sick. Another good book to read is the RAVE Diet.
